Aquanox
Menus are keyboard only.
AquaNox 2: Revelation
Not a problem, as mouse emulation and key input is just fine.
Arcania: Gothic 4
Carmageddon: Max Damage
Always treats the cursor as visible.
Call of Duty: Ghosts
And probably every other COD since Black Ops
Cry of Fear
See GoldSrc.
Dark Souls

Doesn't work properly if virtual joystick is installed.

Day of Infamy
Descent 3
Requires disabling Windows 95 compatibility mode.

Requires running preferences command and setting UseJoystick under Display to True.

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate
Might be incorrect (tested with vJoy installed).
FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage
Mouse cursor is always on the screen.
Gothic
Overlay doesn't hook into the game. Emulated key presses and mouse input seem to be properly transferred to the game.

Overlay doesn't hook into the game. Emulated key presses and mouse input seem to be properly transferred to the game.
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Hitman: Blood Money

Even if it detects cursor - it doesn't really matter, since it's pretty much constantly on the screen.
Max Payne
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Painkiller
Quake
Joystick doesn't seem to work by default. Then again, planty of Sourceports to fix that.

DOSBox
Due to how the hook works, it's best to modify it. See DOSBox
RPCS3

Game / emulator specific notes

DOSBox

Adjust settings and modify shader file[1]
  1. Make sure to set DOSBox to use either OpenGL or Direct3D for rendering - best use Daum Cafe fork.
  2. Navigate to <path-to-game>/SHADERS (where <path-to-game> is DOSbox directory).
  3. Edit a preferred shader with a text editor.
  4. Add a line bool forceupdate : FORCEUPDATE = true; at the end of the file and save changes.
  5. Load a modified PixelShader.
  6. Set Vsync to Forced (if it doesn't work).

GoldSrc

Setting Joystick axis[1]
  1. joystick 1 - enables Joystick input (usually available under options as well)
  2. joyadvanced 1 - enables Advanced Joystick axis configuration

Left joystick:

  1. joyadvaxisx 3 - sets X axis to move left/right
  2. joysidesensitivity 1 - originally it's -1, so it's wrong
  3. joyadvaxisy 1 - sets Y axis to move forward/backward
  4. joyforwardsensitivity -1 - this one is inverted.
  5. joyadvaxisx 0 - sets Z axis (triggers) to disabled

Right joystick (this one would be much better, if were to be set as a mouse, so this is more a note):

  1. joyadvaxisr 4 - sets R (right joystick X) axis to turn left/right
  2. joyyawsensitivity -1 - inverted (set higher for higher sensitivity)
  3. joyadvaxisu 2 - sets U (right joystick Y) axis to move forward/backward.. also it doesn't seem to work correctly
  4. joypitchsensitivity 1 - sets U (right joystick Y) axis to move forward/backward

Notes:

Any changes must be followed by joyadvancedupdate to be accepted.

Quake II

Setting Joystick axis[1]
  1. in_joystick 1 - enables Joystick input
  2. joy_advanced 1 - enables Advanced Joystick axis configuration

Left joystick:

  1. joy_advaxisx 3 - sets X axis to move left/right
  2. joy_sidesensitivity 1 - originally it's -1, so it's wrong
  3. joy_advaxisy 1 - sets Y axis to move forward/backward
  4. joy_forwardsensitivity -1 - this one is inverted.
  5. joy_advaxisz 0 - sets Z axis (triggers) to disabled

Right joystick (this one would be much better, if were to be set as a mouse, so this is more a note):

  1. joy_advaxisr 4 - sets R (right joystick X) axis to turn left/right
  2. joy_yawsensitivity -1 - inverted (set higher for higher sensitivity)
  3. joy_advaxisu 2 - sets U (right joystick Y) axis to move forward/backward.. also it doesn't seem to work correctly
  4. joy_pitchsensitivity 1 - sets U (right joystick Y) axis to move forward/backward

Notes:

Quake 2 - Joystick Commands

SiN Episodes: Emergence

Setting Joystick axis[1]
  1. joystick 1 - enables Joystick input
  2. joy_advanced 1 - enables Advanced Joystick axis configuration

Left joystick:

  1. joy_advaxisx 2 - sets X axis to move left/right
  2. joy_sidesensitivity -1 - needs to be inverted
  3. joy_advaxisy 4 - sets Y axis to move forward/backward
  4. joy_advaxisz 0 - sets Z axis (triggers) to disabled

And then right joystick is botched after hooking, so bind it to a mouse. It's what you should do anyway.
